Sense UI definitely coming to the Magic, myTouch 3G users S.O.L.

Good news: HTC’s Sense UI will indeed be made available to owners of the HTC Magic come October. Bad news: Owners of the T-Mobile myTouch 3G and any other “with Google” variants of the Magic are going to be left high and dry, as most have presumed. The reason for the lack of love is legal as the Android licensing agreement that T-Mobile and others signed forbids them from getting all cozy with Android’s hot new look. Lame, yes, but at least a few people are going to come out on top with this. For those who feel burnt, please take our advice: hit up the xda-developers forum.

Finally. I’ve been waiting for this, good thing Rogers didn’t get the Google branded version :P

I also have the Magic from Rogers!! very excited. But i have a feeling that Rogers will skip over the Hero.

Anywho, other sites are saying that there will be a $49 fee for the upgrade in UI :(

Not really news that’s its not coming to the MT3G but if your tech savvy it doesn’t really matter bc you can get this on your phone anyway… thanks xda!

Johny

Does anyone know if the Sense UI will come to the ION variant?

I just want a Hero, so bad. I like my iPhone 3GS and my Blackberry Bold, but I’ve never really had a lot of time to sit down with an Android phone. And the Hero is schweeeet! Go HTC!

if your reading this you should know how to manually do this =D or you can just buy a hero

wrong wrong wrong
the reason the tmo and vodafone magics wil not receive the ota update is because they do not have a large enough partition to recieve it. it was filled by cupcake. not the “with google” label. google has stated that “with google” means nothing and any phone may have that label if they want.

Orga

Man… can we get this for WinMo? More options!

Funny my mytouch 3g has sense ui on it. Was I suppose to not have that? Didn’t think boygenius was ever wrong

DAvid

what about on the rogers dream?

Eric

Lame. Another reason to ditch t-mobile when sprint releases the hero.

WazzyKirk

I am with TMO and this does tick me off, but I would rather eat dog crap than switch to Sprint, they are horrid.

Gozrilla

Lame, another reason to ditch Sprint and get a Storm 2 or Bold 2.

lame, another reason to ditch verizon and get a phone that isn’t crippled

tHiS sENse Ui loOkS kEWl!!!1! CaN i GEt it 4 MY lG enV??!!1? o_0

Giz also said that it may be because the myTouch has less RAM, and would run Sense like an old Pentium IV would run Vista.

If the “with google” is the ‘only’ reason the MT3g won’t get the sense UI. Then doesn’t that mean its multi touch capable and the eclair OS does actually have multi touch.
…We will see

@p.mcgee
You’re joking right? Can you have Sense UI on your LG EnV? That’s the most stupid question ever (next you can ask how to turn a Nokia into a BlackBerry, or a Samsung into an iPhone, as your question is just as stupid and impossible). ROFLMAO

Ben Daaho

How do I get a Hero? Will it work on ATT?

B

Lame, another reason to be lame.

This is why you root your phone and install a modded ROM. I’ve got multitouch and the works on my MT3G.
